David Sheff's book "Beautiful Boy" is his memoir of his son Nic's descent into drug addiction. It was gut-wrenching and heart-breaking, as the addiction affected the entire family.

When he sobered up (for a time) the son also wrote a book, chronicling his experiences while addicted to meth. "Tweaked" I think it was called. In my opinioin this book was much less gut-wrenching simply because I couldn't get past the out-and-out debauchery. While addicted, Nic gave little thought to anything but his next high. His book was written when he was merely 18 months sober. I would be very curious to read a book written by him when he was 15 years sober, with plenty of time to really reflect.
